When we have this producer at the tasting bench, you can be sure there's a few of us salivating over the wines. This cabernet is always an absolute standout, and we all nod in agreement that this has to be one of the best value cabernets we've ever sold. Ever. An extroverted red which refuses to back down, this wine is fragrant with dark forest fruits seducing the nose, while traces of mint and cedar oak add a twist of regional character. A torrent of ripe plum, dark berry and blackcurrant make their presence known on the palate -  clearly dominating but steering clear of overwhelming the tastebuds. The finish is superb with great length and a dry finale. An outstanding example of how to balance power with restraint, and succeed - this magnificent cab shows others how it’s done.

This is a jaw-dropping value delight from a Vale winery many a mofo has fallen in love with. This wine is built to entertain; its reason for being is to let the good times roll. Think jubilant, ripe fruit flavours with plushness to spare. A solid sprinkling of tannin keeps the edges in check and dribble-inducing flavours of liquered Morello cherry and chocolate abound.

Does it get any more classic for Margaret River cab? This is banging out all the hits and we’re lapping them up: dried cranberry, red currant, black currant, raspberry, tomato leaf. The oak sits neatly within the wine without drawing focus, perfectly balanced. At once savoury and full of fresh juicy fruit this will hit the spot for just about anyone, making it the perfect ‘anytime’ big red that will sit happily alongside a hearty meal. Grab a case for your wine rack, you’ll thank yourself come pasta night.
